About Aeroflex EAST500 LTE Capacity Test System
The EAST500 LTE Capacity Test System is an integrated system for long term evolution (LTE) network capacity testing over RF with real data services and applications, based upon proven test solutions: Aeroflex’s LTE RF air interface technology integrated with EXFO NetHawk’s load test capability. Both companies are leaders in LTE test. The Aeroflex TM500 Series user equipment (UE) Test Mobile is the de facto industry standard for testing LTE infrastructure equipment. The NetHawk EAST system is deployed for LTE simulation by the majority of network vendors worldwide.
The EAST500 hardware is flexible and scalable depending upon the number of UEs and number of cells required, simulating from 100’s to 1000’s of LTE UEs over one to multiple cells. The system offers true end-to-end LTE load testing over RF in both Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) environments. A key benefit is that it addresses the challenge of system testing the LTE infrastructure prior to network rollout, regression test and network optimization to ensure network performance under loaded conditions delivering the best experience to subscribers. Based on a high-performance hardware platform ready for 4x4 MIMO and extendable for LTE-Advanced, due to use of the TM500 platform, it provides early access to new commercial 3GPP roadmap technology before other capacity test systems.
